REAL POKER MASTERY

Sean Moronse asked:

When people think of the most profitable texas holdem hands, the immediate poker hands that come to mind are AA, KK, QQ, and AK. Now these poker hands may be profitable, but are also the highest cracked hands out all hands. Believe it or not, texas holdem odds are in your favor by playing low suited connector cards instead of large hands listed above. You’re probably saying WHAT??? What on earth are you talking about? Well if you don’t know what suited connectors are they are hands such as 78 suited, 89 suited, 45 suited, 67 suited, and my all time favorite ace cracker is 9 10 suited. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I have personally cracked another players pocket AA’s with 9 10 suited. The best time to play low suited connectors are in 9 seater cash games. This is where low suited connectors shine. With low suited connectors and 4+ callers and even a raise, you need to call up to 4 times the big blind at most. You also want as many people in the hand as you can. More than likely if you call the raise it will pay off big time, usually hitting a straight or flush draw on the flop. If you completely miss the flop, get out. But if you have a straight or flush draw it is time to step up your game and make a move. Scared money will never make money. You have to play to win and the majority of winners that have won big have taken risks with their bankroll and not just sat on it waiting for aces, kings, queens, or AK.

True profitable online poker players playing cash games will call a raise with any suited connector 9 times out of 10. It pays off more times than not of hitting an incredible flop. It’s too hard for someone to let go of their pocket AA’s. I mean honestly ask yourself how many times in your life you have folded pocket Aces? Not to many I am SURE. A poker pro will see a straight or flush on the board and know there is a chance they could be beat. Laying down your aces is almost impossible, but if you do it and your opponent shows they had you beat, well even though you lost you gained self-discipline and knowledge. Knowledge is power in poker and you can’t put a price tag on it. Gaining as much experience as you can and studying poker hands and situations as much as you can will go a long way in your professional poker career. In no time you can turn yourself from a nobody into a somebody if you have a never give up attitude. Now you know how to play texas holdem cash games for huge profits. The only way to truly win one of the largest poker pots is by playing suited connectors. They are sleeper hands and definitely worth playing! I wish you the best of luck in your poker career.

There comes a time in everyone’s Texas Holdem Poker life that they consider playing poker online. The beginner Poker player goes from reading about strategy, reading about online poker rooms until finally they make the ultimate decision – to play online.

Some beginner’s do quite nicely right from the start while others fail miserably and quit playing online altogether. So what separates the winning Holdem players from the losers? Well, just read on and find out.

The best Texas Holdem Poker beginners play only the best starting hands. They have tons of patience and will fold poor starting hand after poor starting hand until they get the cards that they want.

This takes lots of discipline and can be very difficult for a beginner.

The worst Texas Holdem Poker beginners play just about any and every hand just hoping to hit the flop and make a winnable hand. Sometimes they do and that just makes them feel as if their strategy is paying off.

In the long run, these poor players lose many more hands then they win. Needless to say, they lose money. Sometimes they lose a lot of money.

The best beginners incorporate the “second tier” of best starting hands only after learning to play and win with the best starting hands.

The worst Texas Holdem Poker beginners have no concept of best starting hands let alone an understanding of “second tier” poker hands.

Again, the worst beginners play just about any and every hand just hoping to hit the flop and make a winnable hand. Sometimes they do and that just makes them feel as if their strategy is paying off.

The best beginners start out in small stakes poker games. Just about all online poker rooms have very small stakes games. These small stakes games are referred to as micro-limits.

Because the best beginners are smart enough to start out in micro-limit Holdem games, they can effectively practice their strategy while risking very little money. Typically, the players in micro-limit games are poor and the best players can and do win money in these games.

By employing a slow and steady approach, the best beginner players are able to build up their bankroll for when they progress steadily into higher limit games.

The worst beginners play in higher limit games where the competition is tougher and because they play too many hands end up losing money.

The best beginners study the board, see what the best hand is that they have or can make and then assess if they can win. If they have a good hand or have a very good chance of improving, they stay in the game.

If not, they fold and save their money for the next hand.

I bet you know what’s coming – The worst Texas Holdem Poker beginners play too many hands, don’t learn to read the board well and lose money.

Simply put, when you make the decision to play poker online, stick to the best starting hands, read the

board, read your opponents, start out in micro-limit games and you will profit!
